On January 11th, there was a big book signing event for my latest book, "Haunting of Emery Estate," with my co-author Monique Toosoon. Monique arranged the entire event in an historic (and haunted) building in Nashua, New Hampshire and today's blog shares some pictures and background about it.

Tom and I drove to the event, which is about 90 minutes away. Tom helped with the unpacking and packing of my books, banners and the like. I had an absolutely amazing time with my super talented, funny, creative co-author, Monique Toosoon at the book signing and after-party paranormal investigation of the building.

Oh, Snow!! The night before the event, snow started falling and by 2pm it ended as 2" on the ground. Fortunately, it didn't scare away most folks. Monique's daytime business is nearby, so many people who know her from there attended.
How did we get into an historic building? It's all about connections. Monique aka Robert, knows the building manager, who allowed us to host the event there.

Set Up! I am so thankful to Monique and her husband, Danny who brought refreshments, made signs and worked hard to get everything together. I admit, it was a little challenging getting all of the books, food, promo stuff and banners out of both our vehicles because of the snow on the ground.

Emery Estate Investigators Join Us - Every one of the paranormal investigators who were at the Emery Estate came to this event. Alaura, who is a medium and paranormal investigator who teamed with Monique and me during the Emery investigation came with David, who is also a paranormal investigator and a tech expert. Thomas, who was stationed in the basement of the Emery Estate also attended. If you read the book, you'll learn about the activity there.

We were also joined by Derek and Candace known as the "ParaClauses" because they have dressed as Santa and Mrs. Claus during some paranormal investigations. Derek is a software guru and tech guy, and Candace is a medium.

All stayed for the crazy paranormal investigation which ran from 9:30pm to 11:30p! We encountered several resident ghosts. Perhaps that will be a topic for an upcoming book. What a night!
